Primrose Mount, Bowness

Another lovely week In Primrose Mount. Thank you. Only comment would be that the big picture window in the lounge is blown spoiling the wonderful view at times. Good to have WiFi.

We loved our stay at Primrose Mount. Not the most modern interior and theres a couple of things that could be updated windows locks missing, bath panelshower kept falling down, propped up by tinfoil However the views from the lounge and bedrooms are utterly beautiful. Its a lovely property to spend time relaxing in. We only wish we had booked another couple of days. Hopefully we shall be returning at some point and would 100 recommend to friends and family. Thank you

Excellent base for exploring the surrounding areas. We have stayed at Primrose mount twice now with relatives and would definitely go back. The property is in an Excellent location, well equiped, spacious, clean and comfortable with breathtaking views. I don't believe you could find anywhere better at a competitive price. Lovely stay, beds are really comfortable and it has everything you could possibly need. We keep recommending this place to family and friends wanting to do visit the lakes.

Great location with fantastic views Property was clean but looks a bit ... Great location with fantastic views Property was clean but looks a bit tired Plenty of parking which is a bonus in bowness & nice outside space, no WiFi which we were aware of and wasnt an issue but probably would be if youre under the age of 20

Location is very good. Close to everythings. Not far to walk to town centre. However not very happy with some of the facilities. Only stayed for two nights. Couldnt get any response from agent when we tried to contact them . Only recorded messages. Bins outside was full when we arrived.

Yet another super stay in primrose mount. We love that place. Nice and clean. Lovely views. Good new shower in cubicle. Obviously exterior needs work doing but understand due to redevelopment. Wonder if we will be able to return next year?

Fantastic ,very comfortable,perfect for access to town,views outstanding will definetley be booking again

Overall we had a really comfortable stay, the views are outstanding. Some of the furnishings are a bit tired, particularly the blinds. The kitchen was well equipped but no can opener to be found anywhere. With using the dishwasher we found for us there was not enough crockery, it would have been nice to have extra mugs and small plates. We were also slightly concerned about the spaghetti of wires and sockets behind the tv. However all these things are minor, Primrose Mount is a really comfortable place to stay, set in a superb location you need to be there to truly appreciate it, five minutes from the centre of Bowness. We had a fantastic break and would love to return.

Lovely property in a great location and with amazing views of Lake Windermere. The property is tired in general appearance. Some of the slates around the back garden under the balcony area are loose and unsafe. Mattress in king size bedroom needs replacing. The bed in the single room doesnt fit the frame.very odd. Shower in utility room was cold and would not heat up. Shame there is no WiFi, sky or Netflix. I am sure this could be installed and the letting price increased slightly. All the reviews are ripped out of the review booktherefore no point having a review book! Bins were full and reading previous reviews, this was an issue. However, the bins are emptied on a Thursday and people clearly put refuse in the bins before vacating and therefore this will always be an issue. Perhaps an extra bin will help. Accessible to both Bowness and Windermere with some lovely local walks. Overall our stay was good but I think the fact that the cottage is tired and needs some work should be reflected when looking at the cottage on your website.

A lovely base for exploring in a perfect location. Small addition of an extra TV's in the bedrooms would just finish this off. Don't get me wrong we spent most of our day outside but would be handy in the evenings when people wanted some space for themselves for a couple of hours.

Love the property, views are absolutely insane. Only issue we had with property is the single room bed, there like a bed frame tucked into a broken bed frame. Really weird. O and when we arrived the outside bin was full, it was out for collection by ourselves on day stated and it wasn't emptied? Other than those which are pretty minor it was superb

Fantastic property with views to die for. Yes, we agreed with a lot of the previous comments but none of them distracted from the wonderful location and relaxed feel of this property. Some coat hooks would be very useful in the utility room, we were lucky with no rain but would struggle to hang wet coats up unless we missed seeing hooks somewhere ? There was an issue with the bins, we put them at the bottom of the main drive Wednesday night & they weren't collected, our neighbour saw other bins from the same agency being collected but ours was left bin was half full when we arrived so think it's been left a couple of weeks now. We can't wait to return if possible but desperately hoping the hedge gets trimmed down so no more of that Fantastic view is lost.

Lets start with THAT VIEW! What a place to wake up every morning. Utterly stunning. The cottage is so private as well, considering its a short stroll to town. The cottage is clean, comfortable and well equipped, the kitchen has pretty much everything you need and the shower nice and powerful. The gardens are really well maintained. However, it could clearly do with some investment as it is looking tired. The owner is obviously waiting for planning to be approved so isnt investing in the current cottage which is a shame but I guess understandable. I do feel there are a few things that wouldnt cost the earth that could be done the garden furniture is getting tired and, as a previous reviewer mentioned but it hasnt been sorted, old broken furniture has been left under the decking instead of being removed. The property smells a bit musty so would benefit from a really deep clean and some air fresheners. The DAB radio has a mind of its own and could do with replacing. A few of the window catches are getting worn. BUT saying all thatthe view is stunning and value for money wise its SO worth it. I wish it wasnt being knocked down as its probably one of the best views in Bowness!

Beds comfortable. Lovely views but Decking looking tired and only 3 seats on decking when it sleeps 5 broken seating underneath decking. Incorrect bin collection day given, it's 6.30am on Monday not Thursday as stated, which was irritating. Lots of spiders! Front door stuck in the heat and we had trouble opening reported to lakelovers.

Absolutely beautiful property, fantastic views, loved that the garden was enclosed for pets. Could do with a little modernisation, but the view, and location makes it fantastic

Our stay was greatly enhanced by the stunning views & great location, the accommodation was very clean, well equipped, quiet and comfortable. Because it was so hot & sunny during our stay, we would suggest a couple of fans be provided nothing that the next day delivery from Amazon couldn't solve for us!. WiFi would be good and its addition might encourage more people to book or maybe not! The house name is quite small and was covered by leaves so we couldn't find it to start with a very picky and minor point! Please note, none of the above suggestions prevented us from enjoying what was a perfect few days away, we would definitely recommend it and will return on our next visit to this magical area called 'The Lake District' Thank You!

Yet another lovely stay in Primrose Mount. Just sorry it wont be available for long.

Location, view and parking are fabulous but the only thing that lets the property down is the need for some TLC on the property. However, we were pleased that compared to our last visit, there has been some interior painting, new carpets etc but property is tired and old broken garden furniture under the balcony area which was is a shame as garden is beautiful with stunning views. It is advertised as no wifi so no surprise but in this day and age we felt it should be as standard. There are sockets still on skirting boards so modernisation there required. Great holiday had by all but prices are expensive and there are more modern houses for less money.

The property was ideal and the views from the property were incredible. We were close enough to walk to town and felt that the car was safe to leave on the drive. Would definitely book again.

You come to Primrose Mount for its spectacular views and its location off a private road tucked away in the heart of Bowness. The bungalow is a little dated now but it's clean and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. It has plenty of private parking and a lovely secure wraparound garden ideal for dogs. This was my 3rd or 4th? stay at Primrose Mount and hoping it won't be my last despite planning application to knock it down and rebuild a 5 bedroom 2 story house which was refused for now!.

Property could do with a refurb, hob was a bit difficult to master but easily forgiven when you can sit and gaze at that view all day.

We loved the house and really enjoyed our stay. The view and location are outstanding. The decor is dated, the pictures on the walls faded, but it was spotlessly clean, so we didn't mind. The only large negative was the very thin duvets. 10.5 tog may be standard, but this is a hillside house in the Lake District in March, with high winds and torrential rain, even hail at times. We used the lap banket off the sofa, and all the large towels spread across the beds, and were still cold. You really need to supply a couple of additional blankets in the colder months. Couple of other thoughts there's a sign by each toilet asking not to flush unwanted items and put them in the bin provided but there's only a bin in one of the bathrooms. There could do with being a bin in both. The curtain track in the middle bedroom doesn't pull smoothly and needs mending. A pair of kitchen tongs would have been handy, as would a small cheap hairdryer. I don't usually use one, but when we got very wet, it would have been useful. Other than the cold we had a lovely stay, and would come back, but maybe in summer this time.

Beautiful property in a stunning location, wish we couldve stayed a lot longer. Very clean and well presented along with everything you require for your stay. We had an amazing time here, the garden and decking area is perfect with stunning views of the lake. Ideal location with just a short walk to the bars and restaurants in Bowness. We would love to return in the near future but not surprisingly it is fully booked for the dates we are looking for. Highly recommended accommodation.

Property just as description on web sight could do with a bit of updating but the position and stunning view make this a fantastic holiday home we will be back thanks.

Loved the place and had a wonderful week but no WiFi in the house was a problem.

The best part of the stay in Primrose Mount are the views from the lounge and bedrooms looking over Lake Windermere. The property was also lovely and clean. However, during our visit wecame to the opinion the property was tired and in need of substantial upgrading also this property is more of a summer let than an all year round rental as the radiators in the bedrooms and lounge are not substantial in the cold weather stay we had unless you leave the heating on 247. With improvements to this property it could be even better.

Lovely holiday yet again at Primrose Mount. Cant beat it! Nice to see home improvements. Hope to stay again but the hill gets steeper as we get older! Thank you.

Great location with amazing views! Very clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We will definitely be back soon!!

Much better than our last visit, but cleanliness could still be improved. New carpets make things better, but other rooms could do with a lick of paint

The only issue we had was the TB didnt work and we had to wait 2 days for someone to come out and look at it. I had to go out and buy a TV myself. Other than this, our stay was great.

The property was nice and clean on arrival. This being our 3rd or 4th stay at Primrose Mount was good to see old window blinds renewed. Great view as always. Crockery would benefit a change. Overall a restful stay thank you.

The cleanliness of the house wasn't great! There is black mould growing on the window blind in the bedroom. Also we had difficulty plugging our plugs in the sockets as the plug holes are on the skirting boards too near to the floor. The whole cottage could do with a bit of TLC and new furnishings especially the sofas! Also the lack of WiFi was an issue with us. We didn't realise it had no WiFi until after we had booked it as it didn't state it at the time of booking! We enjoyed our stay and everything else we needed was there. The location was great with an amazing view. Which saved the day!

Lovely cottage. Location quiet & secluded with amazing views, but also close to all amenities in Bowness & transport links. Very comfortable & enjoyable stay. Would benefit from WIFI this should be a given for all holiday homes these days especially during Covid times when many attractions need to be booked checked online in advance.

We have stayed at this property before and have commented on the amazing views, lovely garden and ideal location which are still the draw of this property but wasnt overly impressed by the cleanliness and commented that it could do with a proper cleaning but we wiped over the surfaces in the kitchen when we got in and because of the plus points mentioned earlier we sort of overlooked other things that needed cleaning and just mentioned it in our review on leaving so it could be addressed by yourselves. However, returning again we were disappointed that cleaning issues were still a problem it still needs a serious spring clean where items such as black mould around both bathroom seals should be addressed and other cleaning issues but basic cleanliness such as other peoples food still left in the cupboard and sugar spilt in the cupboard too are things that shouldnt be overlooked and when putting our washing up liquid etc in the cupboard under the sink it was overflowing with stuff which consisted mostly of dirty cloths etc and nothing which was fit for reusing by the cleaner or guest and should have been binned and also the cupboard was full of a dark sticky substance which had leaked from somewhere and had to be cleaned before putting our few bits in it Its like the cleaners are being given a very short amount of time to give a very basic clean and leave new towels and fresh bedding to each property before they have to move onto the next one and if they dont have time to clean the cupboards that guests will obviously be using then they definitely dont have time to do the nitty gritty stuff like emptying a full magazine box which you wouldnt want to go into because the top magazine was dated 2014 Im only mentioning that to point out that its crying out for a good clean and sort out but having read similar reviews on other properties, cleanliness is definitely an issue which needs to be addressed especially in these times. If when you open a cupboard in the kitchen and have to clean it there are basic cleanliness issues that need addressing so the 3 stars given are for the amazing views and location and also help from the owner through Lakelovers in assisting us to be able to use the garage for storing a mobility scooter.

The House was fantiastic with fantasitc views which was as expected and as advertised. We had a faboulous stay and hope to come back. I do have some constructive negative feedback though which can easily be remedied! 1. There is no WiFi. This is not mentioned in the advertisement. I appreciate staying silent on something doesn't mean it's there, but in this day and age you should state that there is no WiFi as it's more unusual for it not to be present than otherwise. I have to work when on holiday often and of course this also means there is no ability to watch BBCiPlayer, NetFlix or anything other than live TV making the lovely TV a waste of space for people who don't want to watch the rubbish you generally get live sorry but it's true. I agree though the view also makes the TV almost redundant! 2. There was no welcome pack I am not sure if this is normal but not providing such necessities as T Bags, coffee, sugar and milk is rather mean in my book 3. The Hoover. I like to keep things tidy and clean when away so I hoovered up mid week to find the hoover stank to high heaven so much so that I needed to open all the windows and doors and stand outside for bit. It needs either a new filter or the existing filter needs to be washed occasionally! 4. The shower unit over the bath the seal on the bottom of the shower door is BLACK. This is not acceptable nor is it excusable. I suggest you make sure this is replaced or at least soaked and cleaned regularly. 5. The door in the main bedroom is marked as 'not openable'. I wondered why this is the case? It's the only fire exit from that end of the house and I was not comfortable with that non of the windows open to the extent a person could get out if they needed to. 6. Last bu not least there was only one toilet roll in each bathroom for a potential family of 5. i also think not providing a few psare is also pretty mean we had to go out and buy more including tea and coffee and ended up having to bring it all back with us. Look this is a faboulous property and we'd like to go back again and make it a regular visiting hideout but I hope you understand that these comments are very annoyting and could easily be fixed. I completely understand if the owners don't want to include WiFit becuase of some particular reason but if this is the case then please say so in the advertisement.
